One player Won
The spelling bee has a cool sound and is used to help studying. With a challenging course, your participation, fun and excitement against kid friendly, making it right up to a fifth grade level, this word game better than flipping cards building vocabulary skills and spelling continuity.
Bruh
OK, first off half of the word I type either don’t exist or just are spelled wrong like I typed the word called yushui in the game said that’s not a word which it is a word so yeah I’m really annoyed by this
decent game but the word list seems confusing
im assuming the word list is handwritten and not taken from an existing database because some words that you would think would count dont count, and half of the time you lose to words that havent been used since the 1500s, so its really just a case of adding more words thats my only complaint really
Great but one BIG problem…
This, along with Rogue Words, is one of the best word games I’ve ever played! The one big problem is that is seriously heats up my phone and drains the battery big time! Within 10 minutes, I had to stop playing in order cool my phone down and save the battery! Sadly, I’ll probably have to delete this very fun game because my phone just can’t take it! I hope you fix the problem before I have to give this up… that would be really depressing! 🥺
Great Game with Bad Dictionary
The dictionary used doesn’t allow words like Awrong or Unglamorous both of which are words so I’m confidently typing things down and losing a point
Awesome engaging turn based word game
I love this game, well done. It’s a lot of fun to compete against an increasingly competent cpu and develop a whole new sense of strategy. Only complaint is what seems like inconsistency in the dictionary. It offers a link to an online dictionary for definitions of words but some words are not accepted even when they exist in the dictionary - not proper nouns. So that’s confusing but regardless, great game
Needs Refining
The game works most of the time, but sometimes an invalid word will be falsely flagged as a completed word. For instance, “tranq” was marked as a word somehow. I blocked it, but it would be ideal to have the option to overrule the game in its error. The opposite error also happens, where the game will mark a false positive. The invalid word “culotte” was used by the bot and marked as real even though it isn’t.
Frustrating
Fun for a little bit, but too frustrating with words that should be allowed. Also there’s no way to undo if you misclick a letter which doesn’t happen a lot but enough to be annoyed when it does
Very fun
A fun little game that really makes you think! I really hope the devs consider adding a multiplayer option, I think it would be really fun to play 1v1 against friends
Bug(?)
it’s either im not playing it correctly, or it’s a bug. on run 2 i won yet it said defeat and “you win with ___” at the same time. it restarted me. i did this again and it didn’t work
Many words are not recognised
I have entered alot of words that the game does not see ans real words and loose because of this, yet in the dictionary they are. This makes the game unplayable and i think this needs to be fixed.
This games great!
You should add definitions to the words so I can learn too
Why???
Firstly casp is very smart and I enjoy trying to not spell the word but then there were these random words in dictionary no one knew and I kept loosing then I did phy and he challenged me and I said physical then apparently it’s not a word😡😡😡🤬😡😡🤬😡
Innovative word game
Fun and different despite making my phone over heat. Great addicting game!
Its alright…
I started off having a lot of fun with this game. Until I kept putting in words that apparently weren't a word even though it is! It made me to start to lose interest for the game and now Ive lost interest completely and don’t want to play the game.
Very good
Really good game and a very unique idea. No ads is also a big plus. I like the mix of a word game and roguelike. The AI is also very well done.

Great game
Intuitive, engaging, play whenever
The premise is well thought out, and makes for a fun game that anyone can pick up and be challenged. I think the game really shines in how short a single round is, so you can play for as short (or long) as you want.
Clean little word roguelike!
Much like Balatro, there are 10 levels to get through, each with their own point requirements and randomized additional criteria (e.g., even length words, no using a certain letter). The game isn't a true roguelike in that you don't gain skills or traits over a run, but instead, you accumulate points to spend on powers. The music is great, the UI is very clean, and the overall vibe of the game is awesome. The only problem I have had with the game, much like with any word game, is the difficulty of knowing what words do or don't count in the game's dictionary. Overall, a fantastic and charming free game, as well as an impressive implementation of indie game development. I hope to see more from Tyler soon!
Fun and engaging!
This game is really fun and an original twist on classic word games. Definitely for you if you like puzzles and strategy games. Plus the little ghost is super cute—who doesn’t like a ghost wearing a hat?
